It was another rough night for Ukraine’s capital on Monday as it faced a wave of drone attacks. The city officials said Ukraine’s air defenses intercepted and downed “nearly a dozen drones”.

The attack triggered a four-and-a-half-hour air raid alert in the capital, making Ukrainian air defenses work hard to foil it though a range of countermeasures. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries or structural damage in Kyiv, and no one sought medical assistance due to the drone activity.

The later reports showed Russian forces also deployed about ten strategic Tu-95MS bombers, followed by MiG-31K aircraft equipped with Kinzhal missiles though no missile launches were confirmed.
